Gustloff Long Side Rail 55k

[mdarnell19]

Picked this one up recently from a friend/forum member here. Not a mint rifle but a nice combat carried condition rifle. Scope doesn't match but serial number is very close (so might not stick around).

As far as Gustloff LSR production goes I would call this one fairly early. Seems that they started in the 30-40k range. Notice the dkl scope used on the mount. I'm guessing a scope left over from Sauer production.

Hope you all enjoy. Seems like it's getting tougher and tougher to find legit snipers.

It’s nice to finally see some half decent pics of the rifle! Stock looks crispy and the dkl scope is neat!

Yeah they aren't the best pictures. Just took some quick ones with my cell phone.

I initially read the title as it cost 55k

I’m glad the rifle looked better than it showed in the initial pics we saw. Very nice pickup Matt!

Matt. I need one of those…. Just like that.

Nice. Mwilko7 may like to own that upper mount.

Nice and rough "been there, done that" condition. Thanks for sharing! Are you going to shoot it?

Super cool to hear that @Mwilko7 has the matching numbers rifle to your mount! Found his original thread here: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/to-restore-or-leave-alone-bcd4-lsr.57111/ . What a coincidence that he posted his rifle less than a month ago!

Sweet! Another fine addition to your collection! I am also curious if you plan to shoot it sometime?

That is awesome to see. If he had another Gustloff mount of equal value I would gladly trade him.

Nice rifle Matt. Another good sniper for you!

Nice one Matt. Nothing wrong with true wear and tear on a gun.

Hate to sound like the village idiot here, but was the price actually 55 grand? Super rifle I might add!

Serial Range


Very nice looking rifle.

Yes 55k is referring to the serial number range. Not the price. Lol

Was hoping that. Seen snipers in the 5 digit range, but not that high!

Awesome rifle! And doubly cool that the matching rifle to that mount exists! Hope all works out!

OT: to every serialized mount there should had been a matching rifle once .

I REALLY appreciate you guys thinking about me. I'd absolutely love to reconnect these two.
